This edited volume examines the issue of the proliferation of
dual-use technology and the efforts of the international community
to control these technologies.
Efforts to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
increasingly focus on preventing the proliferation and misuse of
dual-use technologies: information, materials and equipment that
can be easily applied for peaceful and hostile purposes. The threat
of terrorist attacks with nuclear, biological or chemical weapons,
in particular, makes it necessary to develop a sustainable
non-proliferation policy that effectively hinders the misuse of
dual-use technologies.
In this book, leading non-proliferation experts from different
regions of the world reflect on the political, legal and technical
obstacles with an aim to finding a better balance between control
and cooperation in dual-use technology transfer regulations. This
broad approach makes it possible to compare regimes which may be
structurally different but are similar in the way they attempt to
regulate dual-use technology transfers by balancing controls and
cooperative approaches.
This book will be of much interest to students of weapons
proliferation, arms control, global governance, international
organizations and international security.
